HawkEye

Published May 24, 2007

LONDON, May 23: The All England Club confirmed on Wednesday that HawkEye technology will be used at this year's Wimbledon championships. It was announced last month that the multi-camera system which tracks the flight of a moving ball would be introduced, as it has been at the hardcourt Australian and US Opens, although exactly how it would be deployed on grass was undecided.

After the accuracy of the system was tested on grasscourts this month, tournament organisers have agreed to allow players three incorrect challenges per set rather than the two at Flushing Meadows and Melbourne.—Reuters
